[EBondo 232]

"Ryan Carter, Brendan Shanahan is on Line 1."

Dirty, dirty knee-on-knee hit to Zac Rinaldo just now.

I imagine Lupul will get a game for his shoulder to Hedman's head.

[camhockey16 5]

i dont imagine lupul can argue his way out of this one

[RadioGaGa 162]

That, to me, is way more suspendable then the ones where a guy is in awkward body position or croaching or whatever. Lupul OBVIOUSLY extends high into Hedman, who is...what????? 6'5" (or more)....There is absoultely no reason for a player Lupul's size to hit him in the head.

[IPv6Freely 2091]

I honestly think he was going for the shoulder and missed. no excuse for being reckless. 2p phone hearing.

I expect 1 game, 2 if Shanny is in a bad mood.

[wrangler 157]

Two games for Lupul.

Not all that surprised.

dumb play by edler - i would imagine the nhl will protect the goalies in this case - especially since the nhl got some grief for not handing out punishment for the lucic/miller one from last year.

Looks like Smith may have been looking to maximize the contact, trying to take up as much space as possible for as much time as possible, and leaning or moving into it. It'll be interesting to see how his actions are viewed by the league. I'm not excusing Edler, but I remember how Smith works from the playoffs last year.

[camhockey16 5]

i dont know what will happen with this one - probably nothing

[hamstercaster 2]

As per Bob McKenzie's Twitter, the league has already advised New York and Florida that there would be no supplementary discipline.

I Agree, also looks like Edler try to sqeeze against the boards.

But he should have snow showered the f out of Smith instead.

IMO 1 game had been enough.

As much as I believe he embellished the play against Chicago, I don't think he had to do so in this case. Edler just drilled him in order to try and take him out. Something like that should be a minimum of five games. There is no excuse for that type of play.

Smith tried to play the puck, he wasn't trying to protect it.

NHL video, 2 games for Edler.

This one is pretty damn brutal. I'm very surprised no ref saw him raise his stick that high.

[coryroth24 15]

Volchenkov will be getting a call. Bad hit, even worse acting job by Marchand...

Good, at least someone else thought so too.

[psh 25]

Hall is coming off a incredibly cheap this year. That wild knee on Clutterbuck and now this. It's too bad; I had very high hopes for him, but he's establishing a dangerous pattern.

And that Volchenkov hit is just brutal. I am no fan of Marchand, but there you have an elbow, targeting of the head, and clear intent to injure. I don't care who is on the receiving end. That kind of hit has to be met with firm punishment by the league.

[chippa13 1844]

So Marchand sat out the rest of the game just to finish selling the call? I get it, boy had cried wolf and all that but if you saw the close up of him when he was being helped off the ice, he didn't look steady in the least.

I'm surprised that Hall still has no disciplinary call for that. A two hander behind the leg where he lift his stick pretty high? Didn't he get away with it as well with no call on the play?

[Chadd 916]

It should be a game but I wouldn't be surprised to see the league ignore it.

[chippa13 1844]

The league does usually seem to ignore those hacks when the hands are apart like that. The good ole baseball grip and swing, different story.
